Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy occurs when a baby’s brain does not receive enough blood and oxygen. Often, it appears shortly before or after delivery, during the perinatal period. Children with encephalopathy may suffer significant impairments or even die. You should consult with a Chicago encephalopathy attorney if you believe your child’s condition was caused by medical malpractice.<\/p>\n
Infant HIE affects approximately two out of every 1,000 children in the United States born at full term, and countless more in preterm births according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH)[1]<\/sup><\/a>. HIE affects infants whose brains do not receive the necessary amount of oxygen due to limited blood flow during pregnancy or the labor and delivery process. If caught early, your doctor may be able to prevent any long-term damage. However, without proper monitoring, this condition can go unnoticed and cause permanent, irreparable injury to your child.<\/p>\n Speak with one of our Chicago HIE attorneys by calling us at\u00a0312-500-1792<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n At Power Rogers<\/span>, we are dedicated to providing our clients with the legal assistance they need when someone\u2019s negligence or wrongdoing results in the injury of a child.
